Misty: I can’t believe it’s been such a long time since we’ve updated you on what’s been going on here at Garsons Field! In 2014 we welcomed four new girls, and subsequently, three new babies. They have all gradually got used to us and have now settled completely in to our alpaca herd. Bambi, in particular, is a definite favourite of the boys. She has proven rather distracting for Angelo over the last few months.

At the end of 2013 the eldest grandchild and family moved back to North Somerset. We now get Cesca over to play every week and she’s great for cuddles and protesting when I lick her (with my lovely doggy breath).

Rosie, my mum, has a new boyfriend. He comes up the road most nights to visit her and she is always looking forward to seeing him (albeit by longingly gazing at him through the kitchen door). I don’t see what the fuss is all about and prefer to sit by the fire.

You’ll notice a new page on our site being uploaded soon – ‘Buffy & Spike’. Buffy and Spike are Blue Tits that moved into our webcammed birdbox last spring and had five chicks. They have all continued to come back to the bird feeder over the Autumn and Winter but we are now delighted that Buffy and Spike have decided to make our birdbox their home for another round of parenting.We’ll be keeping you up to date with their progress and posting photos from the webcam.

Please come back soon to see our updated pages!

Rosie: It feels like we should start gathering up two of every animal here at the moment, or maybe two dogs, two chickens and twenty-five alpacas! Too many nights this week we’ve watched the water rise up above the sunken patio and threaten to come in the kitchen. I forgot on Thursday night and went charging out the back door, off the top patio and all my owners heard was a big splash.

Sadly, Poppy died of pneumonia in early October, leaving behind 2 month old Marcellus. He is now being bottle fed 3 times a day and can usually be seen waiting at the gate for his next bottle! Jonnie (Evie’s cria) has also been bottle fed since he was born, after his difficult birth and Evie’s problems afterwards. He is getting some milk from his mum but because his weight gain is so slow he has his own little bowl of Camelibra soaked in warm milk, twice a day. Lissie the vet payed us a visit the other day to microchip the four cria and gave Jonnie a full check over at the same time. Except for being tiny he is very resilient and eats grass and hay non-stop!
